...Darrow decided to stay the course and ordered 5900 sets from Patterson and White. Retailers demanded a change on these sets though. The large white box took up too much shelf space and they wanted something smaller. Darrow obliged and the 5900 sets were put into a very small black box with a separate board. This is now known as the Darrow Black Box edition.
